300 meters away from the mains square!

The riad was wonderful. Simone took care of us from the start by meeting us and helping us sort out where to park, to booking our hammam. The riad is so close to the main square but is so peaceful and calm. We loved it! We would love to visit it again in the future, inshallah.

Tanima2012-09-27T00:00:00Z

Thank you dear Simon and Matteo. When we entered the Riad it unfold its (from outside) unexpected beauty and liked being there very much. Be it in the room or on the roof. We felt very much at home!

Annemarie2013-01-13T00:00:00Z

This Riad is amazing. SO clean, inviting and well designed. The hosts are wonderful, as helpful and friendly as you want, at other times you can get on with enjoying your stay. Simone arranged trips and Hammam visits for us and even friends not staying in the riad - what a service. Great value for money and (having stayed in a €150/night riad the 2 nights before) some reviewers don't know how lucky they were. We have no complaints other than we are not there now. We will return, soon.

Sean2013-04-23T00:00:00Z

My boyfriend and I spent a great 4 nights in this riad! What a stunning, huge room, very impressive and super clean. Simone was the perfect host and always there to give us advice on places to eat/things to do. The riad is a peaceful spot in the middle of a busy city. Great value for money. Stay if you can. We certainly hope to return. Ps We ate in the riad one night and the lamb and fig tajine was DELICIOUS! Definitely try it if you are there.

Isabella2013-11-30T00:00:00Z

Staying in this Riad is really an experience you would never forget. We've had a great time in Riad Bamileke.

Rebecca2014-06-01T00:00:00Z

The riad was gorgeous! It provided the perfect place to call home in this amazing city. The guys were also super helpful, booking things for us and cooking for us. The rooftop was one of our favourite parts of the trip.

Meagan2014-08-19T00:00:00Z

This suite was definitely super beautiful and the location of the riad was PERFECT for the medina and main square. It took five minutes to get to the main square! Would love to stay here again.

Francoise was great - communicative, quick and flexible. The riad is gorgeous and a welcome retreat from the bustling medina. Sabah is sweet and she did a great job making us feel well cared for. The whole experience was transportive and magical. Great for a warm weather stay.

cheong2014-12-01T00:00:00Z

My stay at Dar Awach with my husband and my mother couldn't have been more idyllic. The riad is stylishly decorated, spotlessly clean and an absolute oasis of calm in the sometimes slightly hectic Medina. The location was perfect, just on the north edge of the souks and walking distance to everything you might want to visit or may require as a convenience. The calming plunge pool and spacious roof terrace were particularly welcome in the heat of the afternoons. The housekeeper Sabah was an absolute delight, preparing delicious fresh bread for breakfast each morning and making coffee/mint tea. She was incredibly warm, kind and informative, although it helps if you can communicate in a combination of French and English. The driver Fayssal was also lovely, he took us on some fantastic day trips and was friendly, informative and flexible. I have already recommended this riad to some of my family and wouldn't hesitate to rebook when I visit again. Thank you so much for a lovely holiday.

Jessica2014-06-13T00:00:00Z

We couldn't of been happier with our stay at Dar arwach. The riad is beautiful and Francoise has obviously spent a lot of effort making it so. The bedroom was beautiful and the bed really comfortable. The roof terrace is really comfortable and we enjoyed laying up there at all times of day, especially when the call to prayer started. When its clear you get a great view of the mountains from the riad roof terrace. The riad is in a great location in the northern medina, near Dar el basha where you an easily get a taxi at any time. There are lots of souks nearby and some lovely food places. We liked the neighbourhood a lot. 10p bread at the end of the street! Francoise was incredibly helpful beforehand giving us information and answering questions. She has left lots of information in the riad on Marrakesh and places to eat. She arranged Fayssal to meet us at the airport. Our stay was made even more special because of the help of Sabba the housekeeper and Fayssal who took us on a trip to the Ourika valley in the atlas mountains. I would recommend taking this trip if you can, its beautiful and a great hike - wear proper shoes/trainers. Sabba and Fayssal are both the kindest most helpful people you will ever meet and we are very grateful to them. Sabba is an amazing cook and makes lovely pancakes and doughnuts, and we enjoyed her company and appreciated all her help. I cannot recommend Dar arwach enough if you are going to Marrakesh - we only want to stay here now. Thankyou so much!

Vivienne2015-03-19T00:00:00Z

Francoise has a beautiful place in a lovely, quiet neighbourhood. My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful week at Dar Ahwach. We can only agree with the other reviewers; this is a really amazing riad with a very sweet housekeeper. It has a lot of style and charm, and it is extremely cosy and inviting, with everything you need for a short or long stay. We very much enjoyed the location, as it was within walking distance of museums, souq and everything we wanted to see. Heating and warm water work very well which was nice as mornings and evenings were a bit chilly during our stay in January. Francoise was very friendly and extremely easy to communicate with and provided useful recommendations for café and restaurants before our stay. Sabah is absolutely wonderful. She took great care of us during our stay, made lovely breakfast for us everyday. And she cooked two delicious dinners for us. The pastilla was sooo good and the lamb tagine gorgeous (and she even showed me how to cook it). We had some interesting conversations with her about Morocco (she has studied history and geography). Fayssal is a true gentleman. The pickup at the airport was easy, and we also arranged for him to drive us to the airport for our departure. Dar Ahwach is highly recommended, and we would love to revisit. Thank you to Sabah and Francoise for a lovely stay!

Tina2015-02-01T00:00:00Z

My husband and I stayed in this riad on our little holiday in Marrakech. We are so happy we chose this place, had amazing time! Riad is beautiful and tranquil, located perfectly to the suke, and felt very safe. And Sabah, who takes care of the riad, is such a lovely lady. We don't speak French, but we managed to exchange a lot of fun stories over breakfast table, and it was so nice. Francoise was very helpful too. She even sent us a document filled with very helpful information about the city before our visit. If we are to go back to Marrakech, we are definitely staying this read again!

Shoko2013-11-10T00:00:00Z

Beautiful, well appointed Riad. Great location with easy access from the airport and a short walk with luggage. From the moment we arrived we felt at home in this fabulous space. Sabah met us on arrival with tea and biscuits and answered any questions we had about our stay. We loved the Riad and effortlessly walked to all the sites we wanted to see whilst in Marrakech. Highly recommend staying here :)

Steve2017-05-25T00:00:00Z

It was a wonderful stay at Riad of Francoise. A super-nice care of Sabah, all around great! Thank you, we'd go back anytime!

Torsten2015-06-17T00:00:00Z

The traditional house is settled in the best area of the Medina and is fantastic like the pictures show, tasteful decorated and very comfort. It was great to relax in the roof and taste Sabah's dishes every night, she's the best ! Francoise has excellent tips and my trip was perfect. Merci !

Federico is a brilliant host. He arranged a taxi from he airport for us, and showed us around our apartment when we arrived. The apartment is modern and clean, with a few local touches to make it special. We loved the view from the balcony outside the living room. The only downside was the building work that was going on in the property directly behind our room. We didn't imagine waking up at 7am each morning to hammering and drilling! Other than that, we loved the apartment and our Essaouira holiday!

Emma2016-11-15T00:00:00Z

Yesterday we returned home. We stayed in your apartment for 4 days. And we really enjoyed it! The apartment was clean, plenty of space and next to the beach . In the future we will recommend your apartment to other people!

Maz2017-07-06T00:00:00Z

A wonderful and modern apartment in a great location. Minutes to the main beach and a short walk to the medina. Amenities in the apartment all new and modern. Would recommend for a family or any travelers who want a modern and comfortable apartment.

Brooke2016-09-08T00:00:00Z

Our stay in Federico´s house was great! The apartment is very nice and bright, and a 10 minutes walk to the Medina. Federico was very kind and help us whenever we need. The terrace has views to the see. I recomend it

Alejandra2015-08-25T00:00:00Z

We started our honeymoon here - What a lovely stay we had at Federico's apartment. He was very welcoming and helpful. The view of the sea from the balcony was lovely and the apartment was light, airy and clean. The location was very close to the beach, we always felt safe and were a short walk from everywhere.

Caroline2015-07-25T00:00:00Z

You must stay here if you are visiting Essaouira. The condo is truly stunning. It is PERFECT. It looks as amazing as the photos. It is so chic and tastefully furnished. The bathrooms are gorgeous and the shower gets nice and hot! It is a short walk to the medina, and that is the best part. You are in a very calm and tranquil location, and you can quickly walk to the lively medina for dinner, shopping, tea, etc. That's what is wonderful about the apartment. Our host, Federico, added even more value to our stay. We sent him an email on the very day we wanted to stay, and he wrote us back in minutes and booked us. We arrived late to Essaouira and we weren't sure where the meeting location was. He drove directly to where we were and led us to the apartment. Also, my laptop was completely dead and it was only day 2 of our vacation. I knew I would need it for planning and organizing other parts of our trip, but I didn't have a converter since my plug is American. I asked Federico if he happened to have an Apple laptop charger. He did have one and he brought it over to the apartment for us that night. I was really touched by his thoughtfulness. Since we are vegan, he also recommended a quality vegetarian restaurant in the medina. Stay here--everything about the host and the apartment is ideal.

Neemu2013-03-07T00:00:00Z

I spent a very pleasant time the stay was perfect between the Medina and the beach 100 meters from the apartment which is very well located .... The owners are very very pleasant people .... They welcome you as friends .... I am very satisfied with the apartment and its geographical location .... I think this is a rare ... Do not hesitate .... I will recommend it to my friends. Belkas & Elena

Belkacem2016-07-19T00:00:00Z

We stayed two days in the charming Federico apartment which made us welcome. Quiet apartment in building with 6 apartments, clean, spacious and tastefully decorated close to the Medina. Magnificent view from the balcony on the beach which is almost at the foot of the building. Do not forget to enjoy the view from the terrace at the top of the building. Thank you Federico and his wife for advice regarding our stay. Be sure to eat in the restaurant Federico "Gusto Italia" on the ground floor of the building especially the pizzas. We will recommend this apartment.

We had a lovely time in Jorge's place and in Essaouira (aside from the rain we experienced!). Jorge was very welcoming and the facilites were great with a lovely dog to keep us company. This place is central and cosy and definitely worth a stay.

Justine2012-01-28T00:00:00Z

I had a wonderful stay with Jorge, a very welcome break from the chaos of Marrakech. I immediately felt very comfortable in his beautiful home and Jorge and his friend Claudia could not have been more helpful with lots of recommendations for restaurants and places to visit. Perfect end to my holiday in Morocco.. Thank you Jorge

Jenny2013-10-20T00:00:00Z

Staying with Jorge was the best choice I made. He's such a welcoming warm character and the house is simply divine. It's situated in a great area, safe and clean. The home itself feels like magic with the most beautiful house cat and a charming terrace overlooking the sea. The sounds of the ocean and wind give this place a tranquility that makes you never want to leave. I know I certainly didn't want to. Merci Jorge

Courtney2014-06-27T00:00:00Z

Jorge was an excellent host. He went over and above by meeting us at the bus station, which made our finding the Riad much easier. The view from the terrace is without a doubt the hook for this riad. The wind had the water stirred up when we got in and watching the waves crashing on the rocks was mesmerizing. The Riad is an interesting old building. The ground floor had some other (URL HIDDEN) Jorge's place started on the second floor where there was a bath at the top of the steps, then a hallway leading through a sitting room, (which had also some owner rooms) and past two bedrooms which were occupied by other visitors. The back staircase led up to the terrace room on the third floor, which we had booked. The room was spacious, and through a low doorway opened onto the lower terrace. On the other side of the terrace was a door leading the kitchen, and the other bathroom/shower. Outside stairs led to the fourth floor terrace, which had the incredible view. Breakfast was croissants and bread. Coffee was good. Jorge made sure we had our questions answered about what to see and where to eat. Loved restaurant #1 on his list! This Riad was like staying in a museum. You won't get this experience in a standard hotel. The location was great. We felt close to the water, the fishing port, the markets and restaurants. Of course the entire old area of the city is not that big.

Charlene 2015-03-13T00:00:00Z

Jorge's place was lovely. We had an amazing room with a lovely view just like expected. Jorge and his son showed us on arrival what to see, what to do and where we were and what to eat. All the relevant information. The view on the terrace was fantastic! We'd recommend his place to anyone.

Paulina2015-06-03T00:00:00Z

We absolutely loved our time in Jorge's place. The two-storey flat is wonderfully decorated and feels more like a ship than like a flat. Our room was charming with nice big windows. The neighourbood is generally very calm and in particular quiet at night. There is also a very cuddly cat around who volunteered to be our friend. The best part is the stunning roof terrace, perfect for eating, sitting, watching, or petting the cat. The kitchen is fully equipped, so we could cook our own meals easily. Thank you for a great experience!

Gorkem2015-09-28T00:00:00Z

Jorge was a friendly host, who gave us great advice on where to even during Ramadan good food & beverage can in Essaouira. The property has lots of charm, especially the roof terrace is a dream. Ideal for backpackers!

Ebba2015-07-16T00:00:00Z

We had a nice two-day stay in Dar Skala, which has a prefect central location, great atmosphere and a stunning view to the ocean. Jorge's son, Pablo was a kind host as well, giving useful tips getting around in town. Breakfast was also proper. All in all Dar Skala is a perfect location for those who want to have a taste of living in a fisherman's house (that is how the enteriuer is furnished).

Fouad's place is the best - gorgeous views of the ocean from the balcony, well equipped with everything you need, and check in and out was really easy and flexible. We spent a lovely couple of days chilling here. You can see the sea from the bed!

Jamie Louise2017-03-17T00:00:00Z

We had the most wonderful stay at Fouad's apartment. The place itself is stylish, clean and comfortable but the location is the real selling point - its in a quieter, less touristy pocket of the Medina and, as you can see in the pictures, overlooks the sea. Most nights we fell asleep to the sound of the waves which was pretty incredible (though some of the days were a bit too windy so to avoid most of the beach being blown through the doors, we shut them). Fouad was so helpful and arranged for a taxi to pick us up from the airport which made the whole trip really relaxing. We will definitely be returning!

Alice2017-05-20T00:00:00Z

The place was wonderful and magic inside the old city ( almadina ). Fouad was easy to contact and helpful. I would recommend to stay in his place.

sulaiman 2016-02-07T00:00:00Z

Fantastic place with an incredible view! Perfect for people who would like to feel like home while they are away. It was very windy when we were in Essaouira so we were happy that we had such a place like this to stay in. Fouad was very helpful and we really appreciate that as we had an unpleasant emergency situation when we were leaving. He immediately helped us to get back to the apartment. Fouad also arranged a comfortable ride for us back to Marrakech at a decent price. Thank you Fouad!

Mateusz2016-04-03T00:00:00Z

Federico was the best host yet for me on Airbnb. His apartment is absolutely perfect and comes highly recommended. He was flexible, helpful and kind and I think you would be hard pressed to find a better option in Essaouira

Jamie2013-01-14T00:00:00Z

Federico and Zarah welcomed us warmly and took the time to give us advice on the use of the apartment. Then, throughout the stay, they have shown themselves available, attentive and showed a great camaraderie.

Serge-Pierre2015-06-17T00:00:00Z

Federico The accommodation is very good, big, clean, modern, very bright: it perfectly matches the brief description and photos. Each room has its own bathroom, one with bath, a nice touch. Very nice to have a balcony overlooking the sea. Side equipment that is fine for a few days, there are the basics. The neighborhood is not the friendliest but is close to the medina on foot along the beach. The only downside is perhaps time of check-out that I find a little early: noon would be better. But otherwise, no complaints, you can go there without problems.

Charlotte2015-07-19T00:00:00Z

Superb Weekend in a chic apartment. Federico is very helpful and available. He waited for us until we arrived very late at night (1:00 am). Baby bed available quickly. In short .. we highly recommend.

Sami2016-06-06T00:00:00Z

The apartment was very nice, clean and accommodated us well. Federico was there to meet us in his restaurant on the first floor of the building. 5 star restaurant with delicious Italian cuisine. There was a roomy patio with a slight view of the ocean off of the great room. Federico was helpful in suggesting places to visit and other places to eat.

joseph2016-03-25T00:00:00Z

Federico has a keen aptitude for hospitality and an apartment with a ridiculously good view overlooking palm trees and the beach. My companions and I arrived on a rainy day after 6 days of running around Morocco, haggling, and attempting to scrub grains of Saharan sand from our pores when we showed up at the Gusto Italia storefront. We were welcomed in by the staff and had some of the best bloody mary's I've been privileged to taste on this side of the world before being shown the digs. There were two expansive bedrooms and two bathrooms, a large living room and full kitchen, as well as a balcony, washing machine, and maid service. The mattress in the master bedroom was difficult to leave in the morning. The first night there we didn't wander far due to the monsoon like atmosphere so we dined at Federico's restaurant GUSTO ITALIA. If you've spent a few days in Maroc and are sick of tajine, couscous, etc...the pasta I had here (Spaghetti Alla Bottarga) nearly made my head explode. Easily one of the best pastas I've had in my life, and one you'd pay triple the price for at a Batali restaurant in NYC. The whole meal was sublime, and left me with such a positive impression we damn near ate there the second night. Federico himself was in touch through the whole process and was completely welcoming. It was a great few days and I know where I'll be going if I'm ever back in town.

Federico thank you for your warm welcome and your availability during the stay. We enjoyed our stay in Essaouira with children and have much appreciated the ride quad and water sports (surfing and kitesurfing). The apartment is nice and fits the description: quiet and a few meters from the beach.

The Riad "Dar Thalge" was the home of the favorite dancer of the Pasha of Marrakech in the middle of the twentieth century, in the 50s. Acquired in 2001 by French architect and designer Eric LEGRIS-Pascal, he was then renovated in an architectural style and iconic design, while retaining its original touches, such as the magnificent arches structuring the patio of Indian inspiration.
Dar THALGE offers an oasis of comfort and coolness even during the hottest hours of Marrakech. The Riad has been completely renovated in early 2011, to offer even more comfort, harmony and with the introduction of many touches of warm colors ...
The Patio of 150 m2 has a small pool where you can relax and cool down when blows the hot desert wind... The patio has the advantage of staying cool in the summer and retains heat during winter nights ... During the summer, we live in the patio during the day and spend the evenings on the terraces.
The Riad is available for rent by room or exclusively depending on your preference.
White Room for 2 persons: 50 € / night
Red Room for 2 persons: 70 € / night (with air conditionning)
Master Bedroom for 2 persons: 70 € / night
Family Suite for 4 people: 110 € / night
Riad in exclusivity from 1 to 5 guests at 200€/night
Riad in exclusivity from 6 to 10 guests at 250€/night
Each room or suite is equipped with a bathroom.
Tourist tax and tourism tax: The city of Marrakech requires all travelers to pay a fee of 23 dirhams per day per person (except for children under 12 years). Equivalent to approximately € 2, this tax will be required on arrival at the Riad and we donate to the city for its development. This fee is NOT INCLUDED in the price displayed on AirBnB.
Eating at the Riad
The cook Nezah will prepare your breakfast every morning. She's also here to prepare any Moroccan meal you might want, whether for lunch or dinner. The costs then varies depending on the meal selected and the number of guests.

Magical place and incredible human experience! Martine, Bruno Mourad, Yacine and the rest of the team was there fussing all week. Certainly our next visit to Marrakech will in this charming riad and run by owners in GOLD! We liked: - the availability of the team - the advice on tours and places not to be missed - the riad (bright, clean and charming) We could make a long list but we leave future visitors to discover all secrets of this wonderful stay at Riad Dar Thalge.

Medina is incredible and centrally located. Our hosts at the apartment went above and beyond to help us, showed us around Marrakech and even partied with us on one occasion. Amazing experience all around.

Ashot2014-01-16T00:00:00Z

My boyfriend and I spent 4 nights in this dar perfectly located in the heart of the Medina and had a great time! The pictures really tell everything: a wonderful building with a little pool on the ground-floor, a beautiful roof terrace where the breakfast is served every morning and clean, nicely decorated rooms. Just perfect to take a rest from the rather hectic life in the medina. The owners and the staff were also very helpful and supported us with everything we needed. Totally recommended!

Sara2014-09-19T00:00:00Z

We had an excellent weekend in the riad. Martine and Bruno, as well as the whole team are listening and ready to advise you at any time! The dinner offered is excellent as well as the breakfasts.

Camille2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

It was really wonderful stay, beautiful room and nice breakfast. We got a lot of help and information about Marrakesh too! Thanks for hosting, will be back soon!!

Hiroko2013-05-05T00:00:00Z

A memorable and wonderful experience in this truly sumptuous riad. A little piece of dream! Mourad My host was an exemplary kindness and is very concerned with the comfort and well-being of its customers. Truly a paradise where no doubt I will return at length soon!

The magical house shares its magic atmosphere with guests in Essaouira!
Situated in a calm, typical part of the old medina, it’s a classic riad, decorated and maintained with attention to detail.
It is nearby Essaouira's main attractions including beach, local vegetable and fish market, shopping streets and port, only five to eight minutes walk to all places.
The house is on four floors, built around an atrium with a glass roof which lets in the light.
On ground floor, there is well equipped kitchen, living room with fire place and guest toilets. On first floor, we call it "the cozy floor», you can find two rooms for kids and parents: one large double bedroom for couple and one cute child's room full of great colors and fun furniture for your kids. The two bedrooms communicate with a typical bathroom with a bathtub, giving good privacy and space.
On the second floor, there are two bedrooms: one double room and one single room. At this floor there is also a shared bathroom for the both bedrooms.
On the third floor two comfortable double rooms are proposed. Both of them are on terraces. One has a fabulous view over the medina. There is a private sheared shower for those rooms. At this floor you can find a kitchenette which is usable to all the guests of the house, as the terraces.
The house is perfect for family, group of friends or for couples.
The sunny terrace, the quiet atmosphere and the comfort of the house make it a perfect place to enjoy Essaouira. Ourselves appreciate a lot local foods, varying from fresh fish arriving every day, to fruits, vegetables and meat coming from nearby countryside. We will be very happy to show you where to get all those good things for your meals to prepare at the house or have it cooked in a local café.
The house is perfectly secure. You will be free to take your room key and the main door key with you just like being at home.
Free Internet wireless connection in your rooms and in the entire house is always at your disposal.

Extra beds (single bed, baby bed) are available on request for free.
Parking with guardians (20 DH per day) is only 3 minutes walk from the house nearby the small gate of Bab Marrakech.
We are happy to guide and assist you during your stay. We speak arabic, french and english.
We are looking forward to welcome you in our house of sun, flowers, birdsong and quiet atmosphere!

Naima and Hamid MADE our Essaouria experience and are hands down our favorite Moroccans! Naima made the booking experience easy, and was very helpful with directions and parking advice. She greeted us in person, gave us a wonderful tour of the medina complete with tips on where to buy the best olives, and have a custom tagine made to order! The house is GORGEOUS and all hand designed by Hamid which is quite impressive once you see it. We stayed in the roof terrace room which was nice and warm in the chilly nights but may be too hot in the peak of summer. Bed was the most comfortable we've had in our 2 weeks in Morocco thus far and the view from the bedroom and terrace is incredible! Lounge area is comfortable and spacious, wifi is strong in lounge. We used the kitchen for breakfasts and the fridge which was convenient and all clean and fully functioning. We met lovely travelers from Denmark, Ireland and England whom we went out and had a great group dinner with (eat at Triskala!). Staying here really made our experience, we felt like we had locals as friends who provided us with inside information for anything we needed. Hamid even found me somewhere to have my pants mended for FREE and helped us out of a bind with a flat tire by providing us a note in arabic for the tire shop which worked like magic when they read it. Only paid $4 - which I know would have been $30 without the note. Naima and Hamid are true gems - don't miss an opportunity to stay here. We will definitely stay here anytime we come to Essaoiura which I hope is again soon!

Lisa 2013-11-20T00:00:00Z

We really enjoyed our stay in our little terrace room at Maison Hiya, looking out over the rooftops and relaxing on the colourful terrace (with the little cat who wasn't supposed to be there..!)Essaouira was experiencing a heatwave during our stay, so our room got very hot, but our lovely hosts Naima and Hamid got us a fan. Though they weren't on site, they were nearby and easily contacted, always making the effort to respond quickly to any communications. Essaouira is a fantastic place, but this riad made it an even better holiday.

Abby2014-10-24T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time in Maison Hiya, the house was one of the most beatiful we've seen in Morroco. Everything build and finished with natural elements. If you have the chance take the roof terrace room, it's very nice to wake up in the morning. Naima & Hamid were very friendly and helpfull, gave some good advice and showed us around.

Kevin2014-03-01T00:00:00Z

The best part of our trip!!! The house is absolutely mind blowing arranged with such a great taste and attention to detail. The house cleaner is the best on Earth, rooms were kept clean and tidy every day to spotlessness! Drissy Family is very beautiful and cheerful couple who are not only great hosts, but also very professional. We requested to have a particular room on the terrace, and they rearranged our booking so we could stay there. Everything about this place and people is amazing. The best place to stay in Essaouira!!! Thank you, Guys!

Mahab2014-03-24T00:00:00Z

Fantastic location. Wonderful place, Great hosts: very kind and flexible. Would highly recommend!

Maciej2014-06-07T00:00:00Z

The riad was very charming and I was greeted with smiles. I would definitely consider returning here with a group of friends, since it would make sense to use the kitchen and eat together on the roof. Since I was travelling solo, however, it actually worked out better value to stay somewhere else where breakfast was included. The rooms are cleaned every day, making it feel more like a hotel than your typical guest room. Beds are comfy and towels are provided.

Lara2014-07-20T00:00:00Z

The welcome I had from Naema could not have been any warmer, she even took me for a walk around the city to orientate myself. Not that it made any difference, I still got invariably lost in the narrow warren of alleyways which make up the fascinating Old Medina of Essaouria. Naema knows the best Hammam and any cool other things you'd like to do in town. The house is hard to leave especially when the sun is shining on the roof terrace which it did most days i was there. The room is small but wonderful with great bed and big windows. If you are tall you will most likely bump your head in the toilet and rooftop kitchen like I did. But there is plenty of living space on the roof terrace which I had all to myself. The attention to detail in the decor and the design is matched only by Naema's beauty and helpfullness. There is excellent wifi even up top, I had spotify playing music all day.

Tom2015-03-27T00:00:00Z

Overall a very pleasant and incredible price-cost ratio! We stayed for four nights in one of the two (tiny) rooms on the rooftop and it was just fantastic! The rooftop is so nice and sunny, a perfect place to relax and it really catches the whole chilled vibe of Essaiouira! We didn't meet the hosts in person, but they were very helpful with all the practical information before our arrival and always stayed in touch with us via (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN). A friend of them welcomed us warmly at the Drissi house (which is a little bit tricky to find, even with a map, so memorize well the picture of the doof here on Airbnb!), and we had a splendid time. Important to know: if you book the rooftop-rooms, you will have a shared bathroom outside (the shower and toilet ar semi-outside, so to speak) but even if it was a little bit windy (in February) we didn't mind at all. If you feel uneasy with that, book the room inside the house, although we highly recommend the tiny but light-floded rooms upstairs - just so cozy! :)

Riad Jawhar is a beautiful Moroccan town house built around a patio with a pool and a large roof terrace. It is located in the Medina (old city) of Marrakech in a calm area, 15 minutes walk away from the famous Jemaa El Fna square.

When we arrived to airport the driver helping us to the riad. As the riad is down few lanes we were dropped near and met by Jhalil. We were shown to our riad and met by Rachid and Amina. Everyone was welcoming and so smily. The riad is beautiful and worth every penny. Throughout the week the breakfast is lovely and Rachid helped us organise trips which were amazing. Speaking fluent French or Arabic would be a benefit but the guys go our of their way to help you and are all so nice. The area is chaotic with bikes, cars, humans and animals in competition for space which all a part of the exhilarating experience. The riad is 10 minutes from the souks, 20 minutes from the square and a 30 minute walk to new town. All beautiful and new town has a supermarket!!! There is a convenience shop 5 minute walk from the riad which has most things you need. Christel is quick to reply, helpful and was great when we needed any help booking additional trips. Amazing holiday. Thank you so much!

Dona2016-03-25T00:00:00Z

We stayed here for 2 days and it was a thoroughly enjoyable and unique experience. We found Christel's communication and tips extremely useful.(Amina/Rachid are very friendly too but sadly our French is very limited to make full use of their local knowledge) The apartment itself, hidden in a maze of alleyways, is full of character and charming features.

Bes2016-12-02T00:00:00Z

Really beautiful riad; location is quite convenient (15/20mn walking distance from all sightseeing attractions); hosts are really helpful, and I recommend the dinner Ghislaine makes (we've had the minced meat with egg tajine). We'll be back :)

Houssem2015-11-06T00:00:00Z

Supported from the airport so no stress to reach the riad! Thank you for his availability to Rachid and Khalid for making us discover the surroundings upon arrival.

Muriel2015-10-27T00:00:00Z

Christel's attitude was great before the trip and she was quick to answer our questions. The riad was amazing nice and agreed well with the images. Walking distance to markets and restaurants was great and it was surprisingly quiet in the riad given pulse outside. We had ordered breakfast which we would rather had been, but because it meant Rislane was there all morning and cleaned. We had rather been for ourselves and did not feel we needed cleaning half a day every day. Rachid who handed over the key was difficult to communicate with us and we felt uncomfortable when he was there every morning. We appreciated not Rachid's friend who was with and offered to be our guide on the first day, it was perceived as a great service to the first but felt in the end that we were blown right because we have not yet had an eye on price levels, etc. The driver who picked us up felt amazing professional and confident and we chose to contact him directly when we wanted to go up to the Atlas Mountains and we had rather asked him to drive us to a supermarket so we could buy our own breakfast too. Thank you for letting us rent your fantastic beautiful home. / Sandra

Sandra2016-03-17T00:00:00Z

Shukran! Christel was easy to communicate with and super hospitable. The Riad was amazing, like your own little secret garden in the bustling streets of the Medina. Also Rachid and Amina are so helpful. Rachid will ask basically get you anything you need, just ask.

Nathaniel 2017-09-07T00:00:00Z

Riad really lovely and very clean. The 4 bedrooms all have a bathroom and toilet. Location conveniently located a 15-minute walk from Place Jeama el Fna. Rachid is present just enough without insisting and Khasima (the cook) is adorable. Hearty breakfasts however couscous took one evening (on request) is not filled and not enough filling. Wonderful place to recommend +++ Very good quality / price ratio for overnight stays.

Vicky2014-10-14T00:00:00Z

We had a great time in Marrakech. Very good communication Christel, our flight was delayed 3H and it immediately reacts to the driver wait for us to Marrakech Airport. We enjoyed the perks of Riad (breakfast, organization of a day in the Ourika Valley) that Rashid has managed for us. I recommend this Riad to anyone wanting to visit Marrakech without having to worry too much organization.

Pepa was really helpful answering questions before our visit. Pepa's home was really beautiful and authentic and in a great location! It was amazing to go to sleep listening to the sound of the Ocean and you can see the sea from the roof terrace. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks Pepa!

Cate2015-11-04T00:00:00Z

This riad is like a dream. The photos are very accurate and It's arguably more beautiful in real life. Pepa was very responsive and quick to respond to questions. Upon our arrival, we felt very welcomed by Adil who was more than happy to give us a tour and even play a few tunes on his guitar. I would most definitely recommend staying here and hope to go back someday. Thank you, Pepa!

JESSE2016-01-09T00:00:00Z

An excellent place: Nice little riad, perfect location and adorable Pepa! I will recommend to my sister and friends

Claire2017-05-12T00:00:00Z

Cool a long braids landlord Adil was an artist, play the guitar, sing good to hear the song. At first we could not find the location, he punched a car came to pick us. His house in the old town of Essaouira, near the beach, four-storey four-bedroom, top floor is a large roof, you can see the sea stars, listening to the sound of the sea and seagulls. The house is Mediterranean style, mainly blue, clean, bright colors, very beautiful, great feeling to take pictures. Kitchen utensils complete, we made a meal of delicious Chinese food. It may be due to some kind of fate, and Adil we had a good time, and that two or three days he stayed with us, go shopping, cook together, drink music. This is what I and most of the time to interact with innkeepers, Adil also said it was his first time such a long time to accompany the guests, very happy, he called us 8 man-made Chinese family. He learned Chinese and especially like, pronunciation is very pure, very fun. Adil is very careful with patience, will help guests and to give priority reminder. But he met along feeling very Zilai Shu is not a person, and people rely on fate. I want him to go back there to live guests, can we Chinese people's friendship gave him. Give him my regards. --vivi

Jun2016-09-10T00:00:00Z

Location of the house is very close to the sea, in the center of Medina. Everything is perfect, adila took us to a French restaurant, we all had dinner, he even show in the restaurant area for us to sing two songs, he is talented artists, great owner, there is a beautiful wife, he is perfect!

DONG2016-07-27T00:00:00Z

Very beautiful Riad, clean and well located! A book without hesitation.

Come & stay with the birds in our little Birds Nest Apartment. With a completely private terrace, with 360° views to the sea, we're sure you'll enjoy our basic but charming nest...
If you want a peaceful place to escape to at the end of a day exploring, you won't find many places as private & charming, as our little nest here in Essaouira. There are only basic facilities, but we're sure you'll enjoy staying in this unique space..
The nest is situated at the very top of a old building in the neighborhood previously known as the Jewish neighborhood. It's filled with Moroccan family's and is extremely safe & private. It's in an easy to find part of the Medina with minutes walk to the beach (swimming/kite surfing) the port and an abundance of cafes & shops..
The bed is made of recycled shipping pallets & is fitted with a very comfortable mattress, duck down duvet & freshly washed cotton sheets (not that easy to find here in Morocco..!) The kitchenette is small but functional, including a mini bar fridge & Moroccan style gas cooker. The bathroom has a clean toilet (!) and hot water shower...
Watch the sunset every night from your private terrace & wake up to the sound of the sea..
This is a tiny apartment, which is why we call it our 'birds nest' - it's one small space with a double bed, small table & chairs, the kitchenette & separate bathroom. It's quite pokey, but very cozy! Perfect for a couple to nest in for some days or a solo traveler to watch the weeks pass by in..
Please note: We won't accept bookings for people traveling with children/babies. The terrace is extremely high, and there are many stairs both in & up to the apartment. Sorry!
We are happy to give you advice eg where to eat locally etc & if you need any other questions answered, we're happy to help during your stay.
There is plenty of parking outside the Medina if you arrive by car. It's about 10dh/24hrs. If you arrive via bus from one of the bigger cities, it's a 5 minute walk from the Supratour bus station.
This is a real Moroccan apartment, not a luxury apartment! There are a few flights of stairs to the top apartment, if you have troubles with stairs maybe reconsider.. Also there are a lot of kids in the block who often throw rubbish on the stairs, so there is often a little trail of biscuit packets etc on the way up!

The apartment is located in the perfect area. The old town, inside the city walls. It's in an easy to find & safe location within walking distance to all attractions & sites.

We had a wonderful time in Essaouira. The stay at your nice appartement was one of the highlights of our trip. It is really cosy, clean and the best part is the private terrace with the perfect view all over the medina and the sea. We had breakfast there in the sun and enjoyed every minute of our time there. Thanks also to Hamza for his great help. We would definitely go again to Essaouira and hope that your birds nest will be available:)

Lana2013-10-13T00:00:00Z

We spent a couple of days in Essaouria and found the apartment perfectly suited our needs. Fantastically light and airy and with fantastic views of the city from the awesome roof terrace. Thank you so much!

Sian2014-02-16T00:00:00Z

A good welcome from Hamaz,he would have helped with any problems. A magical penthouse with the birds and sky! We loved this bijoux little apartment,it had everything we needed and we felt part of the community once we left our retreat. So close to everything and what a sunrise from our bed and sunset on the terrace! Clean and quirky! Peaceful and relaxing. Would happily stay again! Thank you!

sue2017-06-05T00:00:00Z

Had a great stay in the birds nest appartment. Its 1 minute from the main square at the port and has a high private terrace with 360 degree views over the sea and the town. The appartment was clean and comfortable and the hosts were very welcoming.

Ross2013-11-30T00:00:00Z

We had the most fabulous stay in Elly's apartment. We loved the town and the apartment itself had everything we needed in a perfect location. The terrace is a wonderful place to chill out – private and with the most beautiful views. It was warm enough to enjoy sitting out for hours during the day in January and the pain of our early departure was somewhat mitigated by seeing the sun rise (although the sunsets were in all ways better!). Hamza was incredibly helpful and really pleasant to deal with, even though we arrived a bit later than planned due to a slow bus journey and terrible navigational skills. Elly was lovely and friendly via email too. The whole trip was great and we'd love to go back - thanks so much Elly and Hamza!!

Laura2015-01-07T00:00:00Z

Me and my girlfriend stayed little over a week in the Birds Nest and it was super relaxed. Hamza is a super nice host who was always helpful if we needed anything. The Apartment is small but perfect for a couple or travelers on their own. It has a nice small terrace where we enjoyed our evenings. The only thing we missed was the WLan if we needed directions or just wanted to check where something in Essaouira is located but didn´t bother too much as you have free Wifi in all near bars or restaurants. Overall chilled location with nice hosts :)

Philipp2016-09-11T00:00:00Z

We loved the little but very beautiful flat to stay some day in Essouira and loved to be at the awesome terrace to watch the sea gulls at daytime and to count the falling stars in the evening ;)

Franziska2016-09-29T00:00:00Z

I never met Elly because she was away, but Hamza was very warm, kind and welcoming with us. The apartment was beautiful, perfectly situated, and fit the description very well. We had a wonderful stay in Essaouira.

300 meters away from the main square

The riad decoration is beautiful. And ppl there are very nice. Alberto gave us very detailed information about Marrakesh of what to do and where to go. We are very happy to stay in such friendly and cozy riad. Also, breakfast here are nice. Location is superb, very close to all travel spots.

Bowie2015-10-30T00:00:00Z

Riad Bamileke is in an ideal location only a couple of minutes from the markets in Marrakech. Matteo and Alberto were very welcoming and organised for us to go on a three-day trip to Sahara Desert where we camped for the night which I highly recommend to anyone who has time to squeeze a trip into their visit - it was amazing. The food at the Riad is delicious and the terrace is a beautiful place to chill and eat. The only thing about the Riad is that there is no air conditioning so it got quite hot at night. Looking forward to visiting Morocco again!

Emily2015-08-02T00:00:00Z

We only stayed for one night in this room, so after staying in two of the few rooms here, I can confidently recommend this Riad to anyone exploring the city.

David2014-12-25T00:00:00Z

I really enjoyed my stay here. The location is perfect and the room beautiful. However the ground floor room can be noisy with people eating and congregating just outside.

leona2015-06-12T00:00:00Z

it's indeed a GREAT place to stay in Marrakech. Come here if you are looking for a quiet place but very close to Jamaa el Fna square. Thank you for your hospitality!

We had a really great stay at Reb's Riad, truly a lovely and very helpful host made us feel comfortable and welcome from the first moment we stepped in the door. By far one of our best airbnb stays so far. I would highly recommend this place! Very tasty breakfast with a beautiful rooftop terras. Tip top location !

Petra2017-07-11T00:00:00Z

The Riad is only a short walk from the main square. Despite arriving early we were greeted with Moroccan tea while the room was prepared. Alberto was kind enough to talk with us about Marrakesh and provide a map along with some recommendations of how to spend our time. The photos do the riad justice. The decor is amazing and the rooms are well furnished. Our stay here was the perfect way to spend our final two nights in Marroco.

Stefan2016-12-20T00:00:00Z

The Riad was very clean, authentic and set in an excellent location to experience the heart of life in the medina and near the square. The room was cleaned daily and the breakfast was very good. Considering how close it is situated from the main square it is extremely quiet. I would definitely recommend to stay here.

A big thank you to Lucrezia for our week in this beautiful villa. We are directly fell under the charm of this authentic, comfortable house with a garden and pool magic. Especially we have the benefit of a warm welcome and Brahim Louis. thank you again to Bahim and all other employees of the house were always attentive to satisfy us throughout the stay. We will not hesitate to relive this unique experience. Axelle & Samy

Axelle & Samy2016-08-22T00:00:00Z

We had such a wonderful time at Lalla Abouch! We missed meeting Lucrezia, but were kindly greeted by her neighbor, Louis, who oriented us upon our arrival. Hafida and Ahmed, the care-takers of the property, couldn't have been more lovely. With Ahmed's introduction, we made fast friends with the goat - Jamal, and the donkeys, kitties and pup! We also got a lovely tour of the hen house and peacock's nest from Ahmed and were thoroughly spoiled by Hafida's smile and her cooking!! Such a wonderful haven in the midst of the Argan trees, near the beach and away from the hustle of Marrakesch, but a stone's throw from the picturesque and more mellow Essaouira, one of our favorite cities in Morocco. We rode horses on a nearby beach which was a great trip for an afternoon, but we didn't want to be away for too long from home, with the wonderful pool, Hafida's dinner meal, and a spectacular sunset awaiting!

Serena2014-06-02T00:00:00Z

We recommend Lucrezia's beautiful house as a perfect Moroccan experience. Lucrezia responded to every request and we were so happy to have spent time there with her wonderful cook and delightful house manager. The pool and dining on the terrace was fabulous.

Melinda2017-07-24T00:00:00Z

Excellent. Idyllic location and perfect accomodation, which met and even surpassed the high expectations we had prior to arrival. Such a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Excellent meals provided by Hafida and Louis was the perfect stand in host. If /when we return to Morocco, this will be where we stay. Thanks to eveyone in making our stay so memorable. Gary & Joanne

Gary2015-07-07T00:00:00Z

I am no poet but if I was it would be a page full. Staying here for 2 weeks.. It only just got better. It was not just the accommodation but the people who made it wonderful also. From the owner of the property, Lucrezia and her calm charm, Hafida with her cooking, Ahmed with his smiles, and Louis & Stanley, the wonderful neighbours who live on the hill with their amazing life adventures. But there was one little draw back - my husband being 206 cm tall he found it a real challenge with the doors as some are very low. This was the only aspect from his point of view that he did not enjoy. Overall however we both had an amazing experience.

Kelly2015-06-22T00:00:00Z

Both my partner and I had a lovely stay at Lalla Abouch. We didn't get to meet Lucrezia but were well looked after my the lovely Berber family who live on the farm and Lucrezia's neighbour. We ate at the farm house on the first night and had the most amazing salad and tagine, we also ate breakfast there every day which was lovely. The accommodation is really beautiful, the house is clean, and it is incredibly peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone travelling in Morocco either just passing through or for a longer holiday.

Geraldine2013-03-01T00:00:00Z

Despite our late arrival on a stormy evening, there was Ahmed waiting to welcome us at the entrance to this enchanting property. Inside the warmest welcome from Lucrezia and Noelle. Wonderful, authentic farmhouse lovingly maintained, appropriately and stylishly decorated. We were so well looked-after that Noelle even took the time to bake me gluten and dairy free goodies for breakfast. The surrounding countryside is sublime, peace and tranquility abound and often the loudest sounds are those made by the animals. We did quite a bit of hiking around the area and it feels like you have been transported back in time. We highly recommend this home, it is great for couples or families. It is safe and we would have no qualms letting our six year old daughter run wild. Lucrezia is a gracious hostess who is impressively well-versed on the culture and history of Morocco, despite this being her adopted country, and it is apparent how much she loves it. We can see why.

Eliza2017-02-16T00:00:00Z

A completely exquisite experience from start to finish. The farm is dreamlike in its tranquility, and we felt nourished and cared for from the moment we set foot over the door. Lucrezia is the perfect host, gentle and considerate and the quality of her care and attention is evident everywhere in the beauty of the house and garden. Nothing feels forced but everywhere is something for the eye and soul to feed on. Hafida's food was wonderful and she herself is so lovely. And Ahmed made us feel very safe. If you are considering this place I can only say GO!

Located inside the historic Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou, World Heritage of UNESCO, our guest house is an authentic Berber Kasbah completely renovated in compliance with traditionnals technicals of construction and materials

Located inside the historic Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou, World Heritage of UNESCO, our guest house is an authentic Berber Kasbah (fortified house in pisé with four towers) completely renovated in compliance with traditionnals technicals of construction and materials.
The kasbah is owned by our family for over three hundred years. Tebi was the first name of our grandfather. You’ll recognize it easily, it is located at the foot of the door Aït Ougram, one of the three access to the Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou. Look good, a stork’s nest sits prominently at the top of a tower.
The kasbah is distributed on four levels offering Berber lounges where you can enjoy a beautiful view over the valley, natural setting of many great films.
We serve an authentic and refined Moroccan cuisine which is one of the highlights of our house. Salads, briouates, soups, couscous, tagines, grilled meat… All our dishes are prepared with products from the local market, ensuring freshness and quality.
Our breakfasts, typically Moroccan, beings served at your convenience in our dining room or on the terrace, at the top of the kasbah, where you can enjoy a magnificent view over the valley and the Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou.
With us, you will understand why the hospitality and warm welcome were the greatness of the Berbers. If you go through Aït Ben Haddou, you stop for a tea and visit our house, Marhaba, welcome.

We were collected from the Bus in Ouarzazate by Mohammed he is the Star of Kasbah Tebi. The first sight of Ouarzazate is a jaw dropping moment and Mohammed knows it. From the first minute, Mohammed in his very best calm manner, will make sure you have whatever you need to have your Ouarzazare be amazing. The city is small and easy to cover in 2 days, steep though and packed with other tourists., it's still worth every minute. Lots of shopping opportunities. Walk off the beaten track for sights of locals harvesting and tending their land. The Kasbah is quiet. The views are amazing from the terrace. We were 3 and had single rooms with toilet/shower. It was hot, if you are heat intolerant, the rooms don't cool down so visit in March early April. We chose to eat at Kasbah Tebi, dinner was at 8pm but Olives and Bread are bought around 6pm when Mohammed checks in on your day. Dinners are beautiful and tasty, breakfast is delicious and filling and if you make it during Melon season - bonus! It's kinda like really clean camping but with your own cook in an ancient city.

Denise2017-05-23T00:00:00Z

Magical experience at Kasbah Tebi! It's truly something I'd recommend to all my friends. An authentic experience of ancient architecture and very very friendly and caring hosts. Mohamed did his best to make our stay just perfect. After several days in Marrakech it was such a pleasure to stay at Kasbah Tebi, a peaceful and breathtakingly beautiful place. Take a day long trek around the area as well – the best thing we did during our stay in Morocco. The setting is very special and simply spectacular. I recommend the home made dinners – delicious and quite adequately priced. Mind, no wifi – just peace!

Anya2015-05-16T00:00:00Z

Ait-Ben-Haddou is an amazing place, and so to have the opportunity of staying right there in Mohamed's house was an incredible experience! The house is magical and since there is no electricity you can see the sky full of bright stars!!! Mohamed and all the people were very kind and helpful. Highly highly recommended it!!!

Diana2015-06-20T00:00:00Z

Tenbit Kasbah is a fantastic place to spend a night or two. The UNESCO site is a step back in time, with Mohamed's Kasbah a major part of this amazing place. Dinner and breakfast wonderful, highly recommend

ChrisandDee2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

You must stay at Mohamed's hotel! It was the highlight of our trip. Mohamed was very sweet, he even greeted us at 3am and helped us with our bags and then went to park the van for us. His hotel if very very beautiful and romantic. The rooftop terrace is wonderful for stargazing as the stars out there were the most beautiful we had ever seen. There is no wifi or electricity which is what makes it so wonderful. Everything is candle lit. Incredible!

Ciara2017-05-01T00:00:00Z

An amazing place to stay, a highlight of our trip. No electricity, but the food is wonderful, the beds are warm, and the bathwater hot. Mohamed told us that electricity was coming, but after an evening lit by candlelight, I can wait. Bring a flashlight for nighttime strolls.

Barbara2015-01-14T00:00:00Z

The reception at the Kasbah Tebi was very friendly. Mohamed Mahdi and are polite and helpful host where I felt very well. The house is in very good condition and clean. It is a sustainable way of conservation Mohamed operates with the Kasbah, which I think is well worth supporting. The outstanding Tagine is the Mahdi conjures up on the table. I keep staying in the Kasbah Tebi as an unforgettable experience in Memory and recommend all travelers seeking accommodation featuring a simple, quiet place to relax!

Oliver2015-02-19T00:00:00Z

Probably the most magical place I have ever stayed. Beautifully restored kasbah and extremely welcoming hosts. As a girl travelling alone I felt very comfortable. I ate a delicious tagine for dinner in candlelight and then slept upstairs in a turret. There is no electricity or wifi (you can get that across the river in the new town), just absolute serenity and quiet. Mohamed's cousin Asil took me horse riding and trekking to caves and they both saw me safely to my bus back to Marrakech. I really hope to return. Thank you Kasbah Tebi.

smells, colors, people, noises, real moroccan life

This apartment was great for our 3 night stay and first time to Marrakesh. The location was excellent; just a 10-15 minute walk to the square and just far enough away from the hustle and bustle. It's really spacious for just a couple and so plenty of room for two couples or a small family. The rooftop terrace was a lovely place to watch the street below or relax in the sun. Unfortunately the internet wasn't working which proved challenging for planning/accessing online maps. Although it really didn't effect what was a very memorable and excellent stay and Elisa tried her best to rectify the problem. We would recommend this apartment to our friends and hope to return to Marrakesh again.

Natalie2015-01-27T00:00:00Z

Nice location Good communication Clean house

인섭2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

Clean and tidy, in the middle of Medina, great location, about ten-minute walk down busy street towards Jemaa El Fna. The Terrace is my favorite part of the property, we sat up there sipping tea and had a great view of the Medina. Elisa was very communicative and made sure we could get in. We arrived in Marrakech from Fes via an overnight bus, she arranged a driver to pick us up from the bus station at 4AM in the morning. In addition, we were flying out from Casablanca, and she arranged a car to take us from Marrakech to Casablanca airport (For a charge of course, but she helped us set it all up hassle free). Definitely one of the best Airbnb experience we’ve had. We visited in February, the apartment was a bit cold at night, however it does have air-conditioner / electric heater in each room, will take a while for the rooms to warm up, but if you leave it on, was good enough to keep the rooms warm.

Fang2017-02-24T00:00:00Z

We had great communication up to our arrival, she arranged for us to be met and the driver was lovely. Elisa met us at the door and settled us in - lots of maps etc available and she pinpointed where we were etc. She also offered us- extremely generously - access to her other riad if we needed a dip in her plunge pool which my children will forever love her for! For them their favourite bit and not just because of her lovely dog. I really liked where the apartment was within the medina - you got used to the 'touts' telling you you were going the wrong way and the main square was the other direction up the street and could enjoy how comparatively uninterested the locals became in you as you headed that way. Our tip is also to buy a huge watermelon and carry it back on your shoulder and NO ONE bothers you about coming to their place for meal! Lovely

Natasha2016-07-03T00:00:00Z

We loved the house! Its very well located, safe and bigger than what we've imagined! The roof is very charming and Marrakech is an awesome city with awesome energy! Elisa was very helpful scheduling our airport transfer with Rachid who is a very nice person! We really recommended this house!

Evelyne Akemi2016-08-16T00:00:00Z

Elisa well sign me how to find the apartment located 5 minutes walk from Jemaa Elfna through the alleys of the souk El Kessabine. The apartment was clean and in very good condition. Located in the souk with lots of little shops around, the atmosphere was great, but the inside is hardly hear anything with the windows closed and AC. shame that the place was not available today or tomorrow. I rented again for Thursday. See you soon Thank you

Antoine2015-08-04T00:00:00Z

Luke2015-12-11T00:00:00Z

Housing correspond to the pictures on the website, it was relatively well equipped in the kitchen and the bathroom. Wifi is very powerful. Given the heat in Marrakech, the air conditioning was much appreciated. Although located on a busy street in the Medina, the apartment is very quiet when the windows are closed. It is very well situated for the vast majority of sites of interest. I recommend this apartment.

The riad and location were exactly as described. Anne was very professional and a pleasure to deal with. The area is ideal for its security due to its proximity to the palace, and makes walking to the medina simple. Parking was easy as well thanks to two public parking lots very close.

Kyle2017-01-07T00:00:00Z

Wonderful stay! Thank you for sharing your riad. We enjoyed having the extra touches -like a pool and wine - available to us to relax at the end of the day. Language barrier got a little tricky for us but we managed ok with Aziza's patience. Definitely have Aziza make you dinner on the terrace. Fantastic!!! Wish we could stay longer!

Rachel2017-07-31T00:00:00Z

Anne and her husband were very accommodating and for activities among others. Special mention for Aziza (hostess) who took care of us throughout the holiday, more than friendly, attentive and unobtrusive. Breakfast served on the terrace each morning. The riad is well located, photos loyal instead. A little trouble, however, to warm cold enough room in December.

Lamya2016-12-15T00:00:00Z

The riad is small but nice. It is very clean and cozy. We were there in the winter and had always warm with the radiators in the rooms. Each of the three double bedrooms has its own bathroom. Highly recommended.

Most of the town's inhabitants now live in a more modern village at the other side of the river; however, eight families still live within the ksar.

Beatutiful building and interior. Chez Brahim was easy to find, even in the dark. Breakfast and dinner are delicious, and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The first night we stayed in a room with a leaking water pipe in the bathroom, but the staff was clearly embarrassed about that and moved us into a fine room the next morning with a beautiful view over Aït-Benhaddou.

Lisa2015-10-31T00:00:00Z

Brahim is a great host. He not only Hillary Clinton gave a good feeling, he was also a great host for us. Simple rooms, excellent breakfast and dinner. Stunning setting overlooking the ancient Kasbah.

Anne2015-05-14T00:00:00Z

The best breakfast with best view ever! To try! Brahim and Kamel are kind and warm, we are very thankful. The room iss clean. We recomend it.

Chiara2015-02-08T00:00:00Z

We were very well received by Brahim which began operations there shortly, in his great house with his family. We arrived late at night with our two children (2 and 5), but we felt immediately at home. Brahim's family is very friendly, and we feel do some part of the village. The children were accompanied to his school in the morning. A great opportunity to be in contact with the locals. They were also able to watch the sheep in their pen and watch grandmother prepare cakes in his oven. The house is very well located, with a beautiful terrace facing the river and the old village of Ben Haddou. While little is done on foot. We recommend this establishment and encourage Brahim nouvlle in its activity. Soon we hope, inch'alla!

sébastien2015-11-03T00:00:00Z

The homestand Brahim was very nice, the views of the Kashba from the room were amazing and the host was very attentive to us, so who cared at all times why we were comfortable, to the point that even programmed us dinner, bedtime and time for breakfast. I must say that the dinner at Brahim was very good but the price quite high compared to prices being considered in Morocco and considering that it is unique menu and no choice at all to the host called "surprise "and of which we can not even choose. In the morning we prepared a hearty and rich breakfast on the terrace.

What a lovely apartment, central, clean & tastefully decorated. Fouad arranged a taxi to meet us at the airport and he was at the apartment to greet us when we arrived. We had a lovely stay. Thank you

Hannah2017-08-08T00:00:00Z

Fouad picked us up at the bus station, which was nice of him. However, we were taken to a different apartment than this one that we had booked. Apparently there was a water problem in the one we had booked, but Fouad did not inform us about this. We had to mention it to him ourselves, which we found very unprofessional and in some ways we felt cheated. We ended up staying in the apartment (not the one listed here), which was without a sea view, but it was very nicely decorated and spacious with two bedrooms, a large living room/kitchen area and bathroom. It was not lived in at all, and there were not basic things like soap, oil/salt in the kitchen or heaters/air conditioners that were needed, as it was rather cold. The apartment itself seemed newly renovated, but the building it was in and the stairs were dilapidated and there was no light in the stairway. Despite the unfortunate incident, Fouad was cooperative and we ended up enjoying our stay in the other apartment.

Devika2015-01-14T00:00:00Z

Super apartment !!!! As the photos Fouad was super thank you for your hospitality and your availability The apartment is conveniently located close to all walking and great terrace restaurant overlooking the sea. We have a great stay in Essaouira with two children will be back. We had a favorite it's a great city living very warm and welcoming.

Siham2016-07-20T00:00:00Z

We loved this spacious apartment, it's super cool and stylish with great character and a lovely shared roof terrace overlooking the sea. There was a lovely vase of fresh flowers on arrival. Fouad is a great host always responding very quickly to enquiries, plus he came to meet us at the Car Park and walked us to the apartment.

Martin2015-10-05T00:00:00Z

(2 persons, Germany) Very well located appartment in the Medina. Spacious and practically furnished. A cleaning lady took care of the flat everday. Great roof terrace with nice view over the sea. A shop to buy bread in the morning ist located just next to the house's entrance door. Communication to the host was always fast an good. Highly recommendable! (beware of the junk shop vendors next to the house. They are very annoying but can be ignored:) )

Christian 2016-10-02T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed the spacious apartment very much and appreciated Fouad's help with guiding us from the bus station. The rooftop terrace view of the Atlantic Ocean was a memorable part of our stay. The neighbourhood is perfectly situated and a few minutes to the main avenues of stores and restaurants. We thought that this was the best accommodation we had in Morocco. The apartment itself was clean and spacious. Just down the street was a take-out pasta restaurant for dining at home. The neighbourhood was friendly too. I highly recommend this place for a stay in Essaouira.
